In Harrow Lake, did you enjoy ...

... psychological tension and exploration of trauma?

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

If you were drawn to the psychological unease and the protagonist Lola’s unraveling mind in Harrow Lake, you’ll love House of Hollow. Iris Hollow’s search for her missing sister leads her into disturbing family secrets, blurring reality and hallucination. The novel’s eerie atmosphere and deep dive into the characters’ fractured psyches deliver the same chilling, psychological intensity.

... dark, atmospheric small-town mysteries?

The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

If the claustrophobic, sinister setting of Harrow Lake gripped you, The Dead and the Dark will keep you turning pages. When Logan and her dads arrive in a town haunted by disappearances and secrets, she’s pulled into a web of supernatural dread and family trauma, all set against a backdrop as moody and unsettling as Kat Ellis’s town.

... unexpected twists and shifting realities?

Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall

If you loved how Harrow Lake constantly kept you questioning what was real with its shocking revelations, Rules for Vanishing is a must-read. As Sara and her friends follow a mysterious path to find her disappeared sister, the story twists through chilling surprises and mind-bending turns, making you doubt every clue and every character.

... unreliable narrators and memory puzzles?

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

If you enjoyed Lola’s unreliable perspective in Harrow Lake, We Were Liars offers a similarly haunting narrative. Cadence, recovering from trauma, reconstructs the past on a privileged island—the truth slowly surfaces through her fragmented, uncertain memories, making the final reveal all the more devastating.

... stories told through a single, intimate viewpoint?

The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas

If you connected with the first-person journey through Lola’s fears and obsessions, The Darkest Corners—told solely through Tessa’s eyes—will draw you in. As Tessa returns to her hometown to face the secrets of a childhood murder case, her personal perspective heightens the suspense and emotional stakes, just as in Harrow Lake.
